Fire has reportedly gut some part of the Federal Capital Territory Administration office in abuja.
The fire was reported to have started at about 8pm on Thursday evening, at the ICT section of the FCTA complex, triggering the fire alarm, and sending staff who were still within the office complex, into panic.

Meanwhile, the Director General of the FCT Emergency Management Agency, Abass Idriss, while confirming the incident, told our correspondent, that investigations were still ongoing to determine the cause of the fire, but that officials suspected an electric power surge, while he added that there were no casualties or any cases of injuries resulting from the incident.
“The fire is not much, it is already under control, it was a little spark, and we have put it out. It was caused by an electric power surge, but we have put it out already,” he said.
